Whether you're a die-hard Lucille Ball fan, or just like to laugh

Whether you're a die-hard Lucille Ball fan, or just like to laugh, you'll find something to like at the 2014 Lucille Ball Festival of Comedy, August 6-10 in Jamestown. Many local residents may already know about the traditional Lucy Town Tours, cemetery tours, and the candy wrapping or grape stomping. But there's much more. You can take a class in stand-up comedy, see exhibits, have lunch or dinner and learn about Lucy memorabilia, and see performances from some top young contemporary comedians. This year's headliner show with Jay Leno at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena is sold out, but there are still tickets remaining for other big name performers. The Stand-Up Showcase on Thursday night at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts features Caroline Rhea, who may be best known as one of the wacky aunts on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Friday night at the Reg you can see Tom Cotter, who you may know as a finalist from America's Got Talent or from NBC's Last Comic Standing. New this year is the Lucille "Ball" - a Wednesday night party not to be missed. This 50's themed masquerade ball will feature 50's music, all played from vinyl records! It will feature a contest for the best I Love Lucy themed costume, appearances by the top Lucy and Ethel impersonators, and much more.
